Memorial Day
We always love seeing the art of The Sandcastle Man on our Coronado Bike Tour. Yesterday was something special though, celebrating Memorial Day...
What is Happiness?
You can't buy happiness - but you can buy a bike and that's pretty close...
2 Moms Vacationing
These 2 moms enjoyed a San Diego vacation on our Mission Bay Bike Tour. South Shores Park is a little used beach at the south end of Mission Bay in San Diego. This small park has picnic tables, a covered picnic spot, a beach with fire rings, and a view toward Sea World next door. There is a large boat launch next to the park and that is why most people visit this undeveloped part of Mission Bay...
Surfers Below Us!
On our Mission Bay Bike Tour we get to go out on Chrystal Pier and stand above the surfers - you won't find this in Kansas - or anywhere else really...
Let’s Get Lost
Reason #308 I Call This Paradise! It's true I am easily bored but even after living in San Diego for 22 years there's always more to explore on my bike...
Trip Advisor’s Top 20 Beaches
San Diego is listed in the top 20 Best Beaches in the US! Trip Advisor really likes the beaches we visit on our Mission Bay and Coronado Bike Tours...
Coronado Kiteboarding
Don't be surprised if the next time you go to Coronado's beach you see a person zipping through the water (and flying into the air) while being pulled by a giant kite. The sport is called kiteboarding and it is the perfect mix of surfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding and paragliding. Kiteboarders are able to ride continuously rather than sitting and waiting for waves like surfers...
23 Years later Armando Sees His “CORONADO” Sign!
In 1988 Armando was hired to cover up the Coronado Beach Sea Weed from recent storms. He decided to be creative and write something. It took a couple of years but what an incredible piece of art! Armondo never saw it from above until 2011 when Jenny and Molly Cooper hired a plane and showed him. Here's a video of him...
Another Sunny Day in San Diego
Woke up to a sunny day instead of the predicted rainy day so I get to take my group on our Mission Bay Tour today!!!!...
Sunken Ship – Do I Dare?
‘Sin Ship’ was destroyed by a storm in 1936. The 2016 El Niño storms cleaned up the shore and the SS Monte Carlo is more visible than ever. Excited tourists and locals have seen walking, climbing and even exploring the wreckage looking for silver coins! In the Prohibition days, the ship was anchored in international waters to avoid U.S. laws. People searching for gambling, prostitution or bootleg whiskey would take smaller boats out to the ‘sin ship’ for a night of revelry...
Coronado’s Silver Strand
Some of our riders like a longer than normal route so we take them on the Silver Strand Bike Path with lots of Rest Stops. This is a great place for cyclists to enjoy the views as they pedal along the palm-tree-lined path leading from Coronado to Chula Vista...
Drive & Ride Safely
Let's All Do this! Always pleasantly surprised when I give cyclists room while driving that those in back of me do too! Let's all drive like cyclists even if we're not one...
No Rain Just Flamingos!
Rain was Predicted - But SUN Everywhere! 90% of the time when rain is forecast here in San Diego it doesn't happen. Our Coronado Tour Bike Riders and the local Flamingos seem to like that! Just a 5 minute walk to the Marriott Hotel to see them...

Why Not Both Routes?
Our latest Mission Bay Bike ride on the coast we couldn't decide on the tranquil South Shores or the lively Belmont Park route so we did both! Such a fun group...

San Diego Bike Riding Paradise! The weather is why I moved to San Diego 20 years ago. Yes, it does get cloudy or even rainy sometimes - but not too often. PERFECT weather for cycling...
